The 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup will be remembered as the year Indian women’s cricket finally realized a long-cherished dream. After heartbreaks in the 2005 and 2017 finals, the Women in Blue delivered a stunning performance against South Africa, clinching the trophy with a 52-run victory. The final saw unforgettable contributions from Shafali Verma, who scored 87 runs and took 2 wickets for 36 runs, and Deepti Sharma, whose all-round performance of 58 runs and 5 wickets for 39 runs left fans in awe.
Their historic triumph did not go unnoticed, as several players from the Indian men’s cricket team took to social media to celebrate and congratulate their female counterparts.
